Prize Money: $9,360

RUNKLE CRUNCH NZ (7) is stepping back sharply in grade after Group One success at his latest appearance over 2536m at this track, scoring by 7 metres. Has the class to test this field and can return a winner. LONGREACH BAY (1) ran sixth last start here over 2130m, beaten 21 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. REINETTE (4) is having her first run back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Boasts a record of three wins from five starts when fresh from a spell. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. ELDAYTONA (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 2536m at this course last time out. Include from the favourable draw.

Resuming after four-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation recording a big 7 m win (Sr2) at this track (3:02.80) beating Captain Stirling in 3yo G1 No NR on October 31 at $11 at the bell was 5th-5.7m on the pegs. One of the main contenders.
